Place offering a Rise ‘N Shine breakfast
Answer:
IHOP
Hint:
This pancake-focused chain is known for its blue-roofed buildings and a menu that includes "Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity" combos.
Explanation:
This clue plays on IHOP’s famous slogan, "Come hungry, leave happy," but hints at their breakfast focus with "Rise ‘N Shine," a phrase often tied to morning meals. "Place" signals it’s a restaurant chain, and the punny twist leads you to IHOP (International House of Pancakes), where pancakes and breakfast are their specialty. The wordplay connects "rise" to both waking up and the fluffy rise of pancakes.
